FAQ
DO YOU ACCEPT INSURANCE?
Yes, I accept Aetna, BC/BS, and United/UMR insurances. For most other insurances, I am out of network (OON) but can provide you with a super bill for you to submit to your insurance company which may qualify you to receive full or partial reimbursement if you have OON benefits. Please check with your insurance company for confirmation as I do not submit OON claims directly to insurance.
DO YOU OFFER FREE CONSULTATIONS?
No, unfortunately, I do not offer free 15-minute consultations. I find it's more helpful to have a full first session to get a better idea for compatibility and fit.
WHAT IS YOUR CANCELLATION POLICY?
Life happens! If you need to reschedule or cancel an appointment please let me know within 24 hours of our scheduled time – this respects both our time and our relationship. Cancellations, no-shows, or reschedules outside the 24-hour window will result in a $60-$100 service fee.
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER SEEING A THERAPIST?
Therapy is a place to explore, learn, heal, grieve, express, and restore. It’s a place to develop valuable insight into default patterns and behaviors in order to create space for healthy relationships and long-lasting change. It’s a place to feel seen and heard, and a place to learn skills and strategies to develop greater resilience and life balance. It’s a place of safety and confidentiality. It’s an investment in YOU.
WHAT IS WALK AND TALK THERAPY?
I don’t believe therapy has to be confined to an office or couch! Some people find being outdoors a more relaxed or preferable setting, and walking offers many holistic benefits including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. We will walk at your pace and can discuss locations during the intake appointment if you decide this is something you’d like to try. You can learn more about it here.
DO YOU DO ONLINE SESSIONS?
Yes! I use a HIPAA compliant user-friendly telehealth platform.
IS THERAPY CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes! Therapy is confidential, (although there are limits), which means we don’t disclose client information without your authorization. If we bump into each other outside of therapy sessions we can discuss best practices during our first session.
WHAT DO THE LETTERS BEHIND YOUR NAMES MEAN?
NCC stands for National Certified Counselor (short for board-certified), LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor, and LAC stands for Licensed Associate Counselor (counselors in supervision working towards LPC
HOW DO I GET STARTED?
Reach out to me via the contact link, appointment link, email, or text and let me know what you’re struggling with or would like to work on and your contact information.
When you make your first appointment, I'll send you a link from an online portal (I use Simple Practice) so that you can complete all the intake paperwork prior to our first session.
